Scrambled eggs with bacon (1). Put some plain scrambled eggs in a deep platter with strips of broiled bacon over the eggs.
(2) Cut six slices of bacon in small squares, put in casserole with one-half ounce of butter and fry slowly until crisp. Add ten beaten eggs mixed with one-half cup of cream, season with salt and pepper, and cook in the usual manner.
Antipasto. This is an Italian relish (hors d’oeuvre), and can be obtained in cans. It consists of tunny fish, sardines, pickles, capers, etc., preserved in oil. Serve on a napkin, in the can, with quartered lemons and parsley around the sides.
Essence of chicken. Put in a casserole one chopped raw fowl, or plenty of carcasses, necks, etc., of raw chickens. Add the whites of three eggs, stir well, and add slowly two quarts of strong chicken broth. Bring to a boil, strain through a napkin, and serve in cups.
O’Brien potatoes. Peel two large boiled potatoes, cut in one-half inch squares, and put in hot fat to gain color. Cut two red peppers (pimentos) in small squares and put in a sauté pan with one ounce of butter. When the peppers are hot add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and mix carefully so the potatoes will not break.
Omelette Soufflée. Mix one-half pound of sugar with the yolks of two eggs, add one-half of a split vanilla bean, and beat until light and fluffy. Remove the pieces of vanilla bean. Beat the whites of eight eggs until absolutely stiff, and then add to the batter lightly. Arrange on a silver platter in fancy shape, and decorate with a pastry bag with a fine tube. Dust with powdered sugar, and bake in a rather hot oven for a few minutes.
